So a friend bought the game on Amazon, tried to install it, only to get this error when starting the program. We've tried a multitude of previous fixes to no avail. A list of the attempts are:

-The FFXIV_Boot.cfg edit where you change the 0's to 1's to force an update;
-Repeatedly Uninstalling/Reinstalling;
-I've sent him my boot file from the program files which he replaced his boot file with;
-Tried other boot files replacements that had worked for previous people.
-Unchecked 'Read Only' in all assosciated folders;
-Completely disabled all windows and third party fire-walls/ antivirus;

I've seen this problem a lot and would not be posting unless I'd exhausted all previous fixes. We seem to be out of solutions. On a side note, internet connectivity is also not an issue. We were skyping the entire time with no interruption. This was on 8/21/14 between 11pm and 1:30am on 8/22/14 (PDT). Any help is greatly appreciated.

He is running Windows 7 Os on a laptop using reliable WiFi connection.
